Le\u2019Veon Bell<\/a> is putting his New York Jets<\/a> tenure back under the microscope, and this time, the former All-Pro running back is making explosive allegations about ex-head coach Adam Gase.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on Justin Laboy\u2019s Respectfully<\/a> podcast, Bell accused Gase of using cocaine during their time together with the Jets. Bell, who signed with New York<\/a> in 2019 after sitting out the previous NFL season in a contract standoff with the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>, described Gase as \u201cthe dumbest coach ever\u201d before alleging that the coach was doing things in his office that \u201ccoaches ain\u2019t supposed to be doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Laboy pushed him to explain, Bell said \u201cwhite girl,\u201d a slang term for cocaine, then made a snorting gesture. Laboy reacted in disbelief, but Bell doubled down, saying he had personally witnessed it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m like, bro, I ain\u2019t just walk in the office and see my coach [do cocaine],\u201d Bell said. \u201cWe\u2019re about to go to practice, bro! We got practice in 28 minutes. We got a walk-through, bro. This is what you\u2019re doing in here?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bell also claimed it was not an isolated incident. \u201cNot just once, though,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t just one time. That\u2019s what it did, though. Everybody knows that. That\u2019s what he did. But it was just crazy to me to actually see him doing it. I heard all the stories and sh*t.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comments add another messy chapter to one of the most disappointing player-team pairings in recent New York Jets history. Bell arrived in 2019 on a four-year, $52.5 million deal after becoming one of the NFL\u2019s most dynamic offensive weapons in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

With the Steelers, he was a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time First-team All-Pro known for his patient, stop-start running style and receiving ability out of the backfield.<\/p>\n

That version of Bell never fully appeared in New York. In 2019, he rushed for 789 yards and three touchdowns as the Jets finished 7-9.<\/p>\n

The following season was worse: Bell played just two games before being released, while the Jets stumbled to a 2-14 record. Gase was fired at the end of that season.<\/p>\n

Bell later joined the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> and also had brief stops with the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> and Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> before shifting toward boxing.<\/p>\n
